Events in 2026
​
7pm Monday 23rd March: Annual General Meeting (AGM)
Our AGM will be held at Rewley House and online on Zoom at 7pm (see email sent to members).
​
The formal business of an AGM includes the presentation and approval of reports, the election of a Committee to continue the work of the Group, and consideration of amendments to our Constitution.
​
We would encourage any member who thinks they might like to join the Committee to give it a go. Whether you have a particular role in mind or not, please put your yourself forward. Ideally, if you are thinking about it, it would be great if you could get in touch with me in advance to discuss your plans.
​
A Zoom link will be shared with members and included here ahead of the event.
​
​Please Note: For insurance purposes outdoor events are open only to Oxfordshire Mammal Group members. For more information about membership please see our Membership page.
